Hi I had my right tube removed in September. Then had normal periods from mid October onwards. We have just started to try again and I am due on next week. I have started to experience pain and discomfort where my right tube was. I am now scared I might be pregnant and it’s another ectopic but it’s too early to do a test and also I can’t see how it can be in the right one again as it was removed. I hope I’m just being paranoid and it’s period pain but I’ve not had it in the previous few months
Anyone been through similar?

Re: Pain 3 months after tube removal
Dear Sadsack123,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Experiencing some pain after an ectopic pregnancy is normal as your body has been through a great deal over the last few months. The pain may be due to adhesions (scar tissue that binds two parts of the body together) which form and take some time to settle. Your body may be preparing to ovulate and many women experience ovulation pain when they did not before their ectopic pregnancy - including myself. You also may have a heightened perception because of the sad loss that you have had to go through. If the pain persists, I suggest keeping a pain diary noting when the pain appears, the intensity on a scale of 0-10 and anything that helps the pain eg resting, hot water bottle, paracetamol etc. Visiting your doctors with this information helps them to assess how best to manage your symptoms.
Having said this, as you are TTC, if the pain worsens and you experience unusual bleeding or feel dizzy and unwell, please seek urgent medical advice.
Sending much love,
Karen x
